Popular Renovation congresswoman Norma Yarrow presented a bill to eliminate direct and indirect public financing to political parties and electoral alliances.
The legislator’s proposal is raised amid complaints about the misuse by some parties of the budgets that the National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE) assigned to them for the electoral period.
Yarrow’s initiative seeks that the money from these public resources be used to finance essential services for the population, for which he would have to modify the Law of Political Organizations (LOP).
“To that extent, this legislative initiative is necessary to optimize the efficient use of public resources for the financing of political parties and/or electoral alliances, direct and indirect, in order to have equitable competition in the various electoral processes,” he states in the document that is supported by the signature of the members of his congressional bench.
The ONPE allocated 80 million soles in this process to be distributed among the political groups for the electoral strip. Parties like Primero la Gente raised suspicions by allocating part of their budget to the Nativa channel, owned by Miguel del Castillo, founder of that group that is running Marisol Pérez Tello for the presidency. Five other parties allocated part of these public contributions to that same media outlet.
Fuerza y Libertad, the party that has Fiorella Molinelli as its presidential candidate, allocated the total of this budget (S/1,699,247.11) to a single media: Sol TV de Trujillo, a regional channel, among others.
